All intersections will have cement or paver crosswalks. <br />The long awaited for fancy starburst paving patterns at the intersections and gateway points has been abandonned. Some of this was technical -- finding a cement or asphalt that could be coloured and laid economically -- and some financial -- the BIA was obligated to maintain the intersections forever, and the cost was unknown. <br />It is apparently not easy to pave intersections due to the volume of trucks and buses turning, the number of personholes in the street, etc coupled with frost heave = trouble. <br />thanks for readingEric Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042460139621819388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969156847256652198.post-45451458599807984702010-06-21T16:04:22.298-04:002010-06-21T16:04:22.298-04:00Any idea when we should see fancy paving on Presto...Any idea when we should see fancy paving on Preston?
